Editing Doombreed (section)

==Doombreed's absence explained==
In David Annandale's ''[[Mephiston]]: Lord of Death'' novella, it was finally explained what happened to Doombreed. He was ultimately defeated by the [[Blood Angels]] in revenge for their defeat at his hands during the 5th Black Crusade, and was locked inside a statue of [[Sanguinius]]. This being the [[Imperium of Man]], the Blood Angels forgot about it for about five thousand years until their Reclusiarch (who had disappeared aboard a strike cruiser during the Second War for [[Armageddon]]) turned up and lead their 4th Company to the planet the statue was on. Mephiston realized that there was something wrong with the statue, and when half the 4th fell to the Black Rage, Mephiston stabbed it. It broke the Warp's influence on the Blood Angels, but also ended up freeing Doombreed. Mephiston was just barely able to banish him back to the Warp (Doombreed was explicitly being prevented from killing Mephiston by Khorne, who wanted to see if he would fall). However, Doombreed was now free to return to an unsuspecting galaxy. And a new Black Crusade was just beginning...

At some point, he was captured and bound by Ctesias, a Thousand Sons sorcerer, and used during Ahriman's attempt to invade the Planet of Sorcerers. Doombreed was summoned when a daemon-possessed Warlord Titan threatened to halt the invasion, but was dispatched by the power of Doombreed's RIP AND TEAR.

Appearance wise, Doombreed is described as looking very similar to a [[Bloodthirster]]: two horns, red skin, armour, clawed hands and an axe + a rod for weapons. Given that Doombreed is a Daemon Prince, he can probably look however he wants. Presumably, the getting locked into a statue part only made it so that he unable to manifest in reality while still being free, because there is no way Khorne would be dumb enough to leave his favorite murder machine sitting in place for five thousand years.
